Lawn

In spring lawns can be slow to begin growth if soil temperatures remain low, but grass can also be slow to start because of shortage of nutrients, especially nitrogen. Apply some lawn fertilizer, or high-nitrogen fertilizer.

Trim lawn edges where they meet paths and borders.

It is a good time to sow a new lawn or to over-seed an old one that is a bit thin.

Scarify with a power-scarifier, which can be hired, then sow seed and feed at the same time. A poor lawn can be rejuvenated in a matter of weeks.
